Hey buddy, we are discussing engine oil but thanks and no thank for your advertisement.

How do you sure Honda is selling "cheap" oil? At least my car warranty is covered using their engine oil.

Do not simply sell your product in this way, you can do this in Garage Sales but this thread is meant for discussing Honda Jazz.

Don't be so defensive la. He never said he jual engine oil also. He just said his customer. He never said his engine oil buying customer also. It could be his customer who bought DVR from him or something?

Calm down... calm down

Hi all,

let say I drive my jazz back home after work, reach home 7pm, then leave the car untouch until next day 8am drive to work, when I step on the brake before press the start button of the car, the brake pedal feels normal.

but if I leave the car untouch for 2 or more days, when I step on the brake before pressing the start button, the brake pedal feels very hard.

is this a problem?
*
The brakes are power assisted like your power steering. It relies on the vacuum generated from your engine in order to operate.

So, if you have pumped the pedal a few times after you turned off your engine. The pedal becomes hard. If not, i have not left my car off for more than a few days before. But, generally it should not feel any different providing you did not touch the pedal at all over the duration of it.

I did not touch the pedal after that..

Usually it should not be leaking vacuum. But, you can always ask SC to check if you feel uneasy.

What tyre you guys use after the stock tyre? Michelin XM 2? or?

Which one better?
*
Pilot Sport 3... Jus joking

You need to give a criteria on what you term as better, noise, performance in wet or dry grip? Rolling resistance

But at that level, they are more or less the same la. No point changing tires unless you are considering upsizing the rim

stock tyre feels bouncy, so want to find a not so bouncy tyre
and also wants a better wet grip tyre, if dry grip is better also ok but not worse than stock tyre...
*
I guess it is not so much about the stock tyre but the profile.

Grip is not a hard thing to cure. It just depends on what you are willing to sacrifice. Money and noise is one of 'em

Anyone using any aftermarket Air Filter for their Honda Jazz GK? Like K&N, Works Engineering, BMC and etc?

I was wondering did it gave any improvement in terms of better acceleration or better fuel consumption in reality? If it does gave an improvement, which sectors it improve and roughly by how many percent?

Some people says aftermarket filter make no difference or make your car go worst which says that paper air filter are still better
*
After market performance filter can be made of paper also la. Anyways, open pod or drop in first?

Question is what do you expect? If performance increase, i guess you are in for more disapointment than surprise. You might get a load of noise though, and hopefully a bit of change in power curves

Drop In Air Filter~ Yeah I know there will gonna be much noise.... Just curious performance wise will there be an improvement? And will there be improvement for the FC as well?
*
Actually the logic is like this. If you can't feel performance improvement (especially at the lower rev band). It is not likely to help with FC as you throttle the same amount at the end of the day to achieve the same acceleration rate.

But, at full chat. Be ready to pump very frequent. It is like the car has bladder problems.

P/s ; the subject on power and fc is a weird one. You dun get more power without expensing more fuel. If you are about optimizing petrol combustion effectiveness. That is another story

No harm calling and ask. But even spec S is 73k.with a 9k discount, it will not dip below 60k. So, dun set your hopes so high.

I went to Honda AutoWorld Sg Buloh, one guy told me after first 3 free services, follow mileage enough already. That was on the 4th service (15k km) when my mileage was only 10k km. Who's right who's wrong, I dunno...

I'm left with only 8 months warranty... Hopefully nothing happens...  sweat.gif

Aslkan they endorse the service booklet and let u claim when the time comes. Who cares who is right?

hmmm, true also~ tyre heavier than stock burn more fuel~ but how about other aspects like the grip for dry and wet road, tyre noise, and tyre comfortness?
*
Grip and comfort usually dun go together.

Anyways 185/55/r16 is stock size on high spec jazz. How can it burn more fuel?

There is always ways to get around it like buying japan made enkei's made with M.A.T process to counter the weight. But it is just dumping loads of money.

I doubt many can tell the difference by swapping tyres. Furthermore, you need to weight the 15 and 16" tires and rims separately to know what went where.

Check on michelin ps3 n u know the overall performance of this tyre is on par with tyres like yoko s drive, bridgestone re003 etc.
Silent, good grip in wet n dry. Classified under uhp tyre. Downside..expensive. i bought mine at 1680 for 4, 9 mths ago.
*
PS3 is actually not on the same grade as yokohama s drive i believe. Cos, above it is already PSS if i am not wrong.

It is not bad lar if you don't mind the fact that you will never be able to do cross rotations anymore due to the in/out thread design

I jist changed my 205/45/r17 at 450 a piece.

Wat to do la. This is not a lexus wei. Sound insulation at this sort of price range is just utterly minimal. Furthermore, the plastics is not what is bothering me now. The ultra seats when no one is seating is much more of a nuisance

share some sidestory :

last week i experienced VSC in action for the first time in my life. That time, the rain was quite heavy, was driving Lanchang roads leading towards highway. At a corner, i just drove like i usually do on a dry weather, noticed my tyres started to slip, then notice VSC flash few times on the dashboard, and felt the car slowed down and magically "glued" to road, even when im not pressing on brakes and lightly on accelerator pedal.

A memorable scary experience for driving, but good to know VSC is working.
*
Vsc is supposed to work whether, you are on gas, full gas, off the gas, or braking. As long as there is grip in the tires, it will do everything in order to save the car by analyzing the forces against your steering input.

May I know your current tire condition? how long have you been using those tires? just wondering how would it be if tires already worn out. will VSC helps then?
*
Vsc is not a compensation tool. It is not there for you to skimp on general car maintenance. The basics of VSC still revolves around the available grip of your tires.

The less grip, the more chances VSC kicks in if you push it. It will also mean you have less of a warning between when you have or totally lose grip which means even VSC might not be able to save you.

So, do not run the tire to the ground and expect vsc to do magic. It is there for safety, not to be taken for granted. It works in a very simple ground rule, "availability of grip from the tires"

i would say the tires' condition at >90%, all 4 tires are stock on GE8.

I guess if the tires are worn out, VSC will still activate, but it will take alot of time to stabilize the car.
*
Actually your case is the ones that are gradually losing grip. The VSC still reacts in a not so violent way.

If you go into a corner fast enough and land your car into a rough patch of road or a road that dips away. That vsc correction is very unconfortable as it will start grabbing the brakes on one of the corners and you can get flinged about a bit if you did not brace for it.

I am not comparing it with Lexus....just compare it with my other car, Nissan and Toyota....Honda cabin insulation is much inferior to Nissan and Toyota...

I dun deny that la. But, i can only tell you the biggest problem at the end of the day is still the ultra seats. You might be able to solve the insulation problem but you can't stop the ultra seat locking mechanisms from ratlling unless your car permanently seats 4 person.

As for dashboard rattling. There are some odd noises here and there but not a big issue given on the stuff i changed on the car. My chassis now is even at the point where i go up a parking ramp diagonally, the roof lining and stuff starts creaking which i have no complaints about as the swift sport also creaking from day 1 and a friend's golf gti mk7 also having the same problem after a while.

I do agree nissan has better interior build quality. If you DIY stuff. You know their panels are a bitch to pull apart. Honda and toyota interior panels usually just need to pull with hand and off it comes and usually with some broken clips. Haha

So, there is no perfect car except for maybe a flagship lexus which is sweet btw.

P/s : dun blame ckd cos i sat in a crz and also my sis has a japan cbu'ed jazz hybrid. Same rattly rattle. So, it ain't shoddy local workmanship
